About this sunscreen
Somethinc Copy Paste Breathable Mesh Cushion SPF 33 PA++ is a cushion-format sunscreen using older-generation filters alongside titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It delivers a matte finish, wears lightweight, keeps white cast low and does not sting, and it works well as a base under makeup. The low pore-clogging profile generally suits oily and breakout-prone skin looking for shine control. Protection is good, while a score of 69.0/100 reflects its older filter mix and modest SPF 33 rating.
